"The Value of Biblical Authority"
Series: God's Vision Our Values
Pastor Mark Ashley
Communion
We will share in the Lord's Table together. Gluten-free elements are provided at tables in the back of the auditorium. Offering plates are also located at those tables, if you would like to contribute to the Benevolence Offering.
Q&A and Time of Prayer
Sunday Evening at 6 p.m.
On July 27, we gathered together as a church family for Vision Sunday. We received much information during Morning Worship, the ABF hour, and in our Annual Member Meeting. All of the information given may have stirred questions in your mind. This Sunday evening will be an opportunity to have those questions answered. We will also spend time in prayer asking God to help us fully rely on Him as He accomplishes His work through our church. We will pray for boldness and a renewed sense of urgency for the mission of Christ.
ABF month
We invite you to explore the ABFs in our church in the month of September. Each ABF has something special to offer, but all the ABFs at Northfield Baptist Church provide a network of care, fellowship and time for study in God's Word.
Maybe you are currently settled in an ABF, looking for a different type of ABF, or have not connected at all. Take time to visit different ABFs through the month of September and find the one that is right for you!
A complete list and locations of our ABFs can be found at the Welcome desk in the foyer or take a look here!
